The Culinary Institute of America Cuts Energy-Consumption by 83% with LED Technology

Hyde Park, NY, November 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Culinary Institute of America recently partnered with Millennium Visual Systems to change a large portion of their lighting fixtures to energy-efficient, LED technology in the Hyde Park, NY campus. The upgrade is estimated to reduce energy-consumption by 83% in all devices using the LED technology.

Millennium Visual Systems’ LED lamps are used in 4 different chandeliers on campus. The first is in the Conrad Hilton Library. There are 48 lamps within this chandelier alone that now contain LED bulbs. The other three chandeliers are in the main entrance to Roth Hall. All four were previously expensive for the Institution to maintain, considering the cost of manpower to change incandescent bulbs as well as paying the high cost of electricity.

The switch to LED technology is a part of the Culinary Institute’s major effort to light, heat and cool campus as efficiently as possible. In addition to converting lighting to LED technology, the facility now utilizes solar technology, low-flow fixtures and water-efficient landscaping to create one of the most innovative and green campuses in the United States.
